Hello and welcome to the Official Web Site of the Norton Branch Fire Rescue Department. My name is Gregory A. Gillum, and I was appointed on January 1st 1997 as Fire Chief.
 
     I’ve started with this great fire department as a JR Firefighter in 1976, three years after it started. I consider myself very lucky to have been given the opportunity to serve with some of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met. To have been selected as their Fire Chief is one of the greatest honors I could have ever received. I would like to thank my family Melissa, Travis and Trevor, the members, and the Board for their trust and confidence in allowing me to serve in this position
 
     Norton Branch Fire Rescue Department was started in 1973. It has grown to 20-member organization with 6 trucks a boat out of 1 station located at 1570 St. Hwy. 1654 and protects a community of 75 square miles and over 6000 of the greatest friends and neighbors you could find anywhere.
  
    As a Fire Rescue Department we are Non-Profit and Non-Taxing District and we answered  122 calls in 2006. Please take time to visit our site and come back often as new items are always being added. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me or one of my officers.
 
 Yours In Community Service
